It is thought that the microbiota of the dorsal tongue coating plays a crucial role in this condition. The aim of the study was to investigate the composition of the tongue microbiome in subjects with and without IOH. A total of 26 subjects, 16 IOH patients and 10 healthy subjects were recruited based on their organoleptic score and volatile sulfur compound (VSC) measurements. The composition of the tongue microbiome was studied using the 16s amplicon sequencing of the V3-V4 hyper variable region with an Illumina MiSeq. The sequenced data were analyzed using QIIME, and the sequences obtained were distributed across 7 phyla, 27 genera and 825 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). At a higher taxon level,\n                    <jats:italic>TM<\/jats:italic>\n                    7 was associated with IOH patients whereas\n                    <jats:italic>Gemellaceae<\/jats:italic>\n                    was significantly abundant in the healthy subjects.
